@JorgeCortez01 I noticed that too! The Mexican Clinic looks cleaner and better equipted!
My husband was just given an estimate of $8000 to have 2 implants and a small bridge to be done here in central Florida. I am definitely looking into one of these clinics.

in 3;23 Dr. Richard Black is only wearing gloves for protection, his aide has her loose hair over the patient’s open mouth, and none of them have masks! what a great health control they have! And to think this guy was president of the dental association of Texas!

Just got back from Algadonas and am absolutely ecstatic about how it went. Tooth cleaning, 2 root canals, 5 extractions, 4 fillings, 2 porcelain bridge, 3 porcelain bridge, 1 crown. Took about 20 hrs.total at around 3 hrs. a session and less than 3,000 dollars u.s. The bottom line is I fell asleep during the root canals. Absolutley top notch painless service. Better than any I got back home.

I am of the opinion that the reason dental work is so cheap (and other medical work) is that there is a very low incidence of malpractice suits..What chance would an american citizen have in a mexican court..or a mexican citizen for that matter. The judges down there are paid off by the prevailing party. But on the other hand, our costs in the u.s. include very high liability insurance expense..I don’t have the answer..

@hargitai70 ..Dad’s been going down there for 4 years for extensive work..so far so good..but what does concern me is that the dentist’s bathroom does not have hot water..nor do any of the restaurants in the area (Algodones)..Mexicans have a saying..La lumbre mata todo..I wonder..

yes and compare the wages of CEOs from 1968 to 1978 to 1988 to 1998 to 2008.

The real issue is that wages have not kept pace with inflation in the USA for 40 years. My mother as a minimum wage employee fresh out of highschool in 1968 was able to buy CASH brand new,big block,leather interior sedan in 6 months pay.That equivalent car today would cost $35,000 that means that 1968 minimum wage has the purchasing power of a $65-$75K per year job today and only people in that tax bracket can afford to pay $300-$3000 out of pocket for dental procedures,PERIOD. VIVA MEXICO!!

Don’t you think the cheaper price is reflective of the fact that the dollar is worth 13 pesos? Think about it… we think it’s such a great deal. Imagine mexicans trying to pay those prices

My assistant is from down there. Infection control is a problem. Beware.

The sheer fact that we US citizens would have to travel to a foreign country in order to get affordable medical, dental and prescriptions is the plight that our screwed-up US system has put us in! It is a dirty shame that we are cornered in this position! The dental health of this nation is DEPLORABLE! And deplorable dental health leads to other physical problems. Shame on our government, the richest government in the world?

My wife and I live in Los Angeles. We have been using a dentist (and his associates who do oral surgery, etc.) in Tijuana since 2002. The work has been excellent. What would have cost me 12 to 15 thousand for my wife has probably run about 4 thousand. The facilities are top notch. But for the predominance of Latinos working on your teeth, you’d think you’re in the U.S. The facilities are just like what you’d find in the States. I pay $40 to get my teeth cleaned ea. time I go.

I agree, you have to be very careful to choose your dentist in Mexico.
As a dentist here in Mexico, long time ago I worked in border dental clinic, and guess what, we also saw a lot of cases of malpractice but from US dentists… the most critical area was the root canals, I was impress at the beginning but later it became usual.
So be careful, because you can end up with a bad dentist in Mexico as well as in the US.
